Happy Struggles.....

>>>>"For what's the ulimate responsibility we all have? In my view there's only one answer: to be happy.">>>>

>>You know FS I do like your service oriented philosophy. Even though, it is a bit shallow and you have this new age smoke screen wrapped around it. Were you a boy scout? We use to call this doing "good deeds".>>

I was an Indian Guide - BlackHawk - and my father - RedCloud - ended up Chief of the Long House. No smoke. Serious.

Spirit says good deeds make good wampum.

>>Oh well. Lots of people go to bars just to "be happy" and wake up the next morning with nothing but regret. Most people who seek immediate gratification while neglecting their responsibilities find them selves full of despair over the irresponsible acts they committed while giving no thought to the consequences to themselves and others.>>

Father smoked, drank and had temper - but very positive, creative. Tough, but good man. I forgave him, he me, many moons ago over peace pipe in big white teepee.

Parties I go to as young feather end up with me on beach looking at lighthouses or stars.

>>Some of the times I experience happiness, have been as a result of hard work and attention to relationships (service oriented BTW). Frankly, it is a constant struggle to live up to my responsibilities, commitments, and obligations. I wouldn't have it any other way.>>

Agree. Struggle like climbing red rocks - hard, red, blood make smooth foundation.

Key is to make peace with red rocks. Allow music and light to fill soul.

Perhaps this all sound better under feather.

Peace.
